of the affair. It tlll,y be interesting to sorbs readtrs, See the progress which ea'4 of the candidates makes in the several wards of this county, And I therefore send you the state of the polling by wards, for once, as Mr. B. alludes to it in his speech : (Monday) Lord Lowther. Mr. Brougham. Col. Lowther. East Ward 97 - 10 - 96 West Wert - '7B 43 - 16 Kends 'Ward - 65 - 111 - 58 LonAdale Ward - 62 - 11 - 63 302 Gross Poll - - 861 - 74.0 These numbers were declared about four o'clock Loan LOWTHER said that the intense heat of the sun made it necessary for him to ask an indUlgerice of them which 'they had tint before refused him—namely the liberty of keeping on his hat. (Cheeta.)-r--Ils had been given to expect that the third candidate would hank hr4ught• his forces to the poll this day in such num bers et thince the' majority tog leant one-half. He was aware that The eloquence ond ingenuity of the honourable gentleman to whom he was evposed would convert his majority into a minority. .. - "(Lailglifi*.'')The East nod'West, Kendal and Lonsdale Wards *mild be>itnocked about until the candidate had brought himself and all those wards to a most admirable state Of arithmetical cot,- f4 4 tati.--(Latighing.)—The Honourable Gentleman had on 'Saturday amused them with a description of some premises which he had seen. "Glass windows ought not to throw stones," and he had' heard of establishments where there ..was accommo— dation for more than votera.—(Cheers, and great uproar.)—He was aware that many rhetoricalllourislies would he put forth to prove this day's majority a minority, but he hoped they woull remain firm to their purpose.—(Cheera:).:-He again thanked them, and concluded by saying that it they did not relax from the exertions with which they began, be had not the slightest doubt of ultimate success.—(Cheers.) Colonel Lovrenta came forwai ii, but was so assailed by hisses, that not a word of what lie attempted to say could be heard. Mr. Bnoterirrast appealed to them to hear the Colonel, as it WA% most important that he should hear what he had to say. Mr. Ws-atrium earnestly entreated them for Mr. Brougham's sake, to let the Colonel he heard. Colonel Ltivernen again attempted to speak, hut wholly with out success. He said that if they would not hear him, he could not help it. Ile again cordially thanked them, and hoped for a continuance of that support which they had alteady given him.— (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. 11nonoiast --The Candidate who first addressed them expressed his great, or as he his agreeable surplice, at tip& ing himself not much out-voted by us to-day, which he expected from oor repreSentations of Saturday evening. But we find that hie majority has come down from thirty-seven, which it was on Saturday evening, to twenty-five, which it is to-day.- 7 -(Cheers.) —Now, gentlemen, have you soy curiosity to know how things went on to-day.—(eries of " Yes;") in what quarter, or in what ward this majority of twenty-five lies? Do you re member where it lay last week—need I tell you ?' Guess". }fid dle me riddle-4A loud laugh, accompanied by a cry of " moun tebank.")-=lii which of the wards do you think (mushrooms and colliers) this majority has been had?' why, in LonSdalc, where they have run up a majority of tifty4our, we polling tl are only eleven, while they polled sixty-five;' but though they have had the majority there, we' have had it all the three other booths, tortiority of twentv-nine upon this dny's kf I could only tell--if `I could calunlate with the !lame certainty tor to-morrow and Wednesday', as I could to-day and for last Sa turday, how many' of the mushrOoM votes they would bring in, I might make a shrewd guess as to whit the polling would lie on those days. I 'should like tit know how many such votes tot those eight and thirty, which one gentleman of this county made out of one estate—(cry of tile), or at least by one deed, or deeds of one date—they mein to bring forward.— (Here a person in the crowd called nut "Lord Thanet.")—A good man there says it is my Lord Thanet who bas done so. I tell him that Lord Thanet has not made one voter of that descrip tion, and more than that, I tell the person who cries that out, that he Wows It is well ea I do. But I will tell you who it is, if you twee any curiosity le know the name—it is Colonel Bol ton.setCries Of " should not have mentioned his sseerie, if one'of 'yhti had nut named Lord Monet. This infor station I had from friends of mine, who were in the booth—for I was not there myself, and by them I was assured that 41110:11 titles as those I have spoken of had been adduced in support of the free holds. I have been also told that a Rey. Clergyman has had a traffic of this sort going on; and though Ida 'mushroom Snit is not so good as that of my friend Col. Belton's, yet it prOducsa a good crop for the size of it.-e-(Latighter.)—Now, whit it can he which makes the Rev. Gentlemen tot up his property, and plant it with mush rooms, I cannot understand.—(A cry front the Yellows of " To isppoae Poperel—Very well ; hut whether he expects to get wily of the loaves and fishes to, eat with his ketchup, I cannot tall.—(Loud laughter,)—As to. Colonel Bolton, I eau guess a reason for his conduct. He and I have had the misfortune, as we always have had, to differ widely upon many important questions; and his connection with the West Indies has had a great effect in warping his opinion, which would have been other wise souder, upon the great questions of African Slavery and the Slave Trade, to the abolition of :which I have devoted the greatest part of my poblic life. Ido believe that, but for these connections, the Colonel's opinions upon these great questions would have been lees warped, and that he would have been more favourable to my standing for this county, if his prejudices and his peculiar situation did not prompt him to ,contend and fight against it...((1055.),-(3entleMen, I may regret this, as un doubtedly I do ; and I should be more happy to have his support than be met by his opposition ; but I now declare that I would rather encounter his forty-seven mushroom votes—nay, if they had been seven times that number, than abate one iota of that in terminable hostility:which you and I wage with regard to Negro Slavery.---(Loud cheers.) At this momenta post-chaise with sonic yellow freeholders very imprudently drove into the crowd, which consisted almost entirely of Blues, and caused great =fusion. Some of the rabble struck the horses, as if they would make these poor brutes responsible for the interruption ; hut at length the driver was prevailed upon to turn back, and give no more disturbance. Lord Molyneux, who was in the crowd, very humanely interfered to save the poor horses from the blows which were falling upon them, and .took the trouble to take them by the heed, and turn them himself. Mr. B. continued—l would rather a hundred times over en esaunter the opposition of the Rev. Clergyman to whom I have alluded, even if his mushroom votes were tenfold what they are, than abate a single iota of the zeal and constancy with which I have defended, do defend, and ever will defend, the cause of civil and religious liberty, and equal rights to all chows of my fellow subjects. I atrs' obliged before retiring to state to you a circum stance which .I feel an imperious necessity of shortly and plainly mentioning before I leave these hustings. Now, on Thursday, at the nomination, I listened with the greateet attentionto the speeches of the gallant Col. and his Noble brother.--(here there was some disturb &nee in the crowd, but Mr. 'B.' said, "he is no 'friend of mine who now interrupts me, front whatever purpose or feeling he may do so, whilst lam making this statement.") I was confident in my own mind, from what I hail heard the gallant Colonel say that he had said nothing which one gentleman might net say of another, either in his 4(1141(.1, or presence. But there name to Appleby this morning a London newspaper called the Courier (a cry of, " a good paper,") in which there is an account purporting or pretending to he a report'of what the Colonel said on Thursday. —( Here a. person in the crowd raised his voice to such a pitch as to drown Ow of any our else, by crying out " D—n the Cotteiern—which mare Mr. Brougham appeal to him by saying " Yon have not heard what I have just 'aid," which had the effect of quieting 1611'0—Upon reading this report in the newspaper in question, I found it necessary to request my friend, Mr. Strickland, -to wait upon the gallant Colonel fur the purpose of asking him whether or not he had used the word; imputed to hint--not that T had heard such words, o r believed he used them, hut as he spoke in the latter part ' of the day, when I did not distinctly hear him, he might have used them—l wished to have the matter set right. upon him, and Colonel Lowth er , i n My friend accordingly wa it e d the most correct, and proper way, 'denied that he had ever used the wordy imputed 'to him in that most offensive, and I am sow warranted in ,saying, th a t most false report , which affected to make him say that s v e which km did (tot A l ly.

Mr. BaotlOnam—l really Mint say that it would he the grossest of all miscible iniquities, to consider any man breathing answerable Inc an account which other men, for purposes of their own; may publish ofwhat he never taid. Mr. NtinanTow said that Mr. 13VOugharn having alluded to the misrepresentation of Colonel Lowther, in which the Coltstiel was made to say that Which he never said or contemplated to say, be (Mr. W.) wished to call their attention'to a speech made by the Colonel, in which be stated that had been misrepresented, and admitted in the most candid manner, that he had not used the words imputed to him. In animadverting upoh the tetittisition of the freeholders to Mr. Brottgbatit, the Colonel had alluded to him (Mr. Wharton) in a harsh and unnecessarily offensive way. This being stated to , him, Its most handsomely and voluntarily • admitted that he meant nothing offensive to . the ; that he bad need the words (i. a that Mr. Wharton was kicked out for Beverley") in the common electioneering acceptation, and that he hoped I would think no more of them. Mr. WYBURGII now showed a disposition to ,speak, but Mr. Brougham, hinted that there had been speaking enough for this day. Mr. W. said he would bare been glad to say a few words, but was willing to take the advice of his friends, who seemed to thick that enough had been said already. He would, therefore, reserve his breath for another occasion, and not say a word more. But what he was going to say was, that in the Courier they had misrepresented his speech, as well as the others, for they bad made him say that which he did not. In imitation, he supposed, of the horum xcorum poetry which he (Mr.W.)had introduced into his speech, the report in the Courier contained a postage which bore the stamp of poetry, but whether it came from the distributor of stamps for the county, or not, lie could not say. The whole was a fabrication. The object of the report seemed to lie to give the Colonel a tine answer to his (Mr. W.'s) very fine speech. So much for the Courier and the reporters. (N. B. A report of Thursday's proceedings could not have appeared in the London Morning Papers till Monday, . which said Papers could not have come down here till Wednesday next. So much for this most ust and candid denunciation of the reporters). NORTHUMBERLAND. ALNWIDK, MONDAY (SIXTD nay). The contest is still carried on with vigour, and no party has yet evinced, any symptom of withdrawing. Though Lord Ilowick is still last upon the poll to-day, he is determined to stand out to the last day. With the exception of the partial contest between Mr. Bell and Mr. Liddell, at the beginning of the last Session of the last Parliament, this county has not witnessed a contest since 1774. Mr. LIDDELL then came forward amid loud cheers. He begged the freeholders to accpt his warmest thanks for again placing him at the head of the poll—at the head by larger and in creased majorities.—(Loud cheers).—Of this situation he was justly proud, because it was to the independent and unbought free holders alone that he was indebted for the elevated position upon which he stood. Let his friends but Continue their exertions a few days longer, and be hail no doubt of standing confirmed in the proud situation of being their Representative.---(Cheers). JOHN GREY, Esq. of Miltield, asked Mr. Liddell to produce the correspondence between him and Mr. Beaumont, which he had promised on a former day, when Mr. LIDDELL replied, they were in the.press, and would soon appear. Mr. Bait thanked the freeholders for platting him so near to the head of the poll, .and begged of them to redouble their exer tions in' his behalf tilt he was placed at the head. Mr. BEAUMONT next addressed the Freeholders. There was a Gentleman in the crowd wishing to speak a few words to him. Let there be a compact between them before they begin. He did not care whether he spoke first, second, third, fourth, or fifth, if he spoke some time. If any Gentleman wished to speak first, he was quite agreeable; hut let them not both speak together.— Mr. Bell has come forward in his usual frank' and manly manner, and made a charge against him, respecting which he wished to say a few words. The result would disprove the charge—it would prove the opposite to he the truth. He could prove that no coalition existed between him and Mr. Liddell, but the jititi- . _ liable and honourable coalition popular feeling ; and would endea your to show how just would be their indignation against the orte which bad been employed against hini,—(Gbeers.)---It WAS not enough to way there. was no 'coalition; thla wws reply to Mr. Bell, anti, by the bye, a: 46M with Mr. Bell, for though on the' hustings they were' etetuies, in private they were friends, and they would shake!. bends before they begun, and after, if he liked.--(Both the 6ndidates here stretched items, and cordially shook hands.).;—:This attack Upon hiM commenced long before Mr. lien thought of coming into Parliament, and when at length hi did come:in, he found hitri self in a harness, from which •hccould not extriate himself. He had no chance of being returned, unlesa he came forward in the trammels and shackles of a well-knoWn party, who would not have supported him otherwise..--Ile did. not accuse hiM—he could not avoid' it # he was in:harness from 'whiCh he could not extricate himself. • - • ' Mr. Wavrets, the attorney of Mr. the lion. Gen- Ileum produce one instance of threat?—(Cries of; no interriip tion, and hissing.) • Mr. litattatotrt —The gentleman has asked me to produce an instance where threat Las been used. • I will tell you why I do not name the individuals threatened, though if he likes, I will name the individuals threatening, for such is the acrimony and unsparing rancour of the agents of Greenwich Hospital; that the individuals of them would be crushed. Mr. WALTZRN asked, if that was to be taken OS in answer? Mr. Beaumont—He did not mean to say that was a full an swer--the fault was beyond Mr. Brandling. It originated with the Ultra Tory faction, in Northumberland, and confirmed by the Admiralty setting in London, which left no opportunity un tried to'crush 'an independent candidate, even by the most abomi nable means. If any proofif any sly information were wanting he would take it frown the speech of his Honourable opponent, Mr. Hell. No man complained till he found he had the worst of it. Es (Mr. Beaumont) did not complain even when lie had been at the foot of the poll. If a man quarrelled with his wife and had the worst of it, he was the first to sneak out and complain to his friends.—(Some hisses.)—These gentlemen were beaten by their wives, and don't wish to bear me. Melt seldom complained when they were satisfied and happy. Complaint on the pert of Mr. Bell was a proof of weakness, over which their kind and energetic exertionorwould triumph, and he hoped they would not let the cause of independence out of sight till they placed him at the head of the poll, when he assured them he would not eon'- . plain. . Lord Howtcx said his situation on the rail was certainly one not calculated to inspire him with sanguine hopes, but if his hopes were even still less he was determined to stand there to the last day, to give the freeholders who had promised him their sup port, an opportunity of recording their good faith and sincerity. He was not satisfied that he heard the observation of Mr. Beau mont distinctly, hut to those that he had heard, he was compelled reluctantly to advert. The existence of a coalition was proved, and if he were defeated by its influence he would be its victiM. A more disgraceful coalition of opposite principles was not to he found recorded in the annals of elections. But he hoped the freeholders would show their indignation by refusing their sup port to such a party. He therefore urged them, and his own friends to split upon Mr. Bell. Even if he were to lose the election by it, he advised them to split upon upon Mr. Bell rather than Mr. Beaumont. He would' not now detain the meeting longer. Certain charges, he understood, were - to be brought forward against him to-day, if so, he was now ready to answer theni. Mr. Linns.l.l. said, as no charge made against him had been supported, it was not necessary for him to detain them longer. The meeting then quietly dispersed. ALNWICK, TOISDAY. (rnox * `CORRISTONDSST.) The candidates are now completely divided into two parties— Liddell and Beattmont on one side, and Bell and Howick on the other. The eleetitm of Mr. Liddell is on all hands admitted to be secure, while that of Lord flowiek is quite as generally ad mitted to he hopeless. The real contest is - therefore between Bell and Beaumont ; and the friends of the latter grow more and more confident of his ultimate success. lie is known to have the most votes remaining, hut aft miny of his friends are to he brought from a considerable distance, time is required to bring them up.

WATERPORD COUNTY.—SacoNn DAY, FRIDAY. Large masses of freeholders were found here this morning, from every part of the county, on jaunting-cars and other odd descrip- ions of vehicles. At an early hour the several candidates appeared at the hustings. Mr. Powmt and Mr. STaw.tivr were greeted with loud applause; but Lord GEORGE BERVITORD Was assailed with a storm of hisses, and cries of " No road dog—no whip-cord—no Orangeman !" Mr. Bum, Chairman of the County, was appointed as assessor to the Sheriff; and Mr. Wallace and Mr. O'Connell, as the pro fessional friends of Lord G. Bertsford and Mr. Stewirt, took their places with him on the bench. The poll-booths were then opened, and the contest began with an earnestness which has seldom been equalled. The agents at both sides seem to consider themselves as partisans engaged in a cause where their existence was at stake, and they fight over every vote with the most per plexing ardour ; scarcely one man is polled in each hoinh in a quarter of an hour. The Bribery Oath is offered indiscriminately at all sides—though I have heard some of Mr. Stewart's adherents deny that it is pressed at his. The agents are all speakers, and delight in showing their ingenuity. Some of them delight in more, and are reckoned very useful in deeds as well as in words. Take one . cue—Mr. Rowan Cturhell is an attorney, who is secured at all elections for a certain fame he has acquired from a hardihood Of manner which puts down all opposition, unless the agent of the other side , is equally fond of twelve paces as he is. Instructions Were given to his opponents in this case, to avoid all personal altercation, and to appeal on all disputed points to . the Assessor's Deputy ; hut Mr. Cashell's teat was so active in the course of the day, that even the Deputy had to appeal to the'Assessor and the High Sheriff against him. Mr. BARON, the Deputy, rushed into Court with Mr. Rowan close at band, 'and a host of mutual friends, and Mr. Baron claimed the attention of the High Sheriff, saying, "Sir, I require your protection-=-I give my opinion on a disputed point between this Gentleman and the agent at the opposite side, whirls appeared to dissatisfy him, soul he has loaded Inc with the most opprobrious terms..

Mr. Casitro.--A voter was produced by me, I tendered his certificate, and you refirsed it. I had no 'personal interest in the case—l did not desire to offend you. What object could I have in offending you? I have a painful duty to discharge—men are . seducing from us the very tenants we are polling- - I would not .take'a thousand pounds to come down again to ihis e/Oction. The Asszcsoit—l said to yon Mr. Deputy, that youbad a right to commit any person who interfered with you in discharge of your duty. ' • Mr. CAIMIML—I can do no more than this—l say I did not mead to offend you. Mr. O'CoNNELL—I call on the Sheriff to commit any man who dares to trespass againsforder and decoriim. - Mr. Wau.ace.—And I call on you, Mr. Sheriff, to prevent Mr. O'Connell playing the advocate now; as he has done before, in direct violation of the law. • • Mr. CABIIEI4—I resign my trust. Mr. Banoti—No;' I have come to tender my resignation with you—l cannot 'preside in a booth where a man acts whose very first step was to insult the Sub-Sheriff. I vow most solemnly never to act in the Court 'where he is again. - Mr. Casitzt.t.—l neither directly nor indirectly intended to insult you. Mr. BARON—I want no apology—l will take none—l will have nothing to do with you or it. .The HIGH Sm.etre—The state of the public mind, and the wish I have to avoid doing any act which might he construed by either party, prevents Inc acting in a decided manner by you Mr. Cohen.' ' The respectability of the Gentleman (one of the agents) who has spoken for you, also influences me in some degree. I will say no more ; but I beg, Sir, • I may not have a renewal of these complaints. The parties then withdrew, on the understanding that Mr. Cashel' was to be removed to another booth. At seven o'clock the High Sheriff announced the numbers to be, for . — Power • - 234 Lord G. &rotor(' - 160 Mr: Stewart - 227 Lord G. Botesenan said, that he had only begun the contest, and that his opponents'had a majority on that day's poll. Ry the middle of next week'they would not find themselves so high ; and Mr. Stewart declared that he had no doubt the Noble Lord would give up the contest in 48 hours, and allow the freeholders to go home and get in their hay. Mr. STEWART addressed the crowd at great length ; as did Mr. O'CONNn.L, who began by declaring, upon his honour, that be was tired of beating the Beresfords, though he ungenerously added insult to what he called dekat. SATIJADA.Y.-.-TIIIRD DAY. The poll was yestetday delayed by the ingenuity of sonic of the agests, and every vote was canvassed.' Take one scene, which wilt give you'an idea how the thing is done.

Mr, Deputy's Clerk in the mean time draws a cork; and takes a drink frattl a bottle which he had in reserve under the table. Agent—l'll trouble you, for a drop, if it is not salt. Deputy—Kiss the hook, Ties voter touches the batik to hie nose. Agent—Hallo ! that won't dd. Deputy—Kiss the hook, Sir. The Voter kisses the cord round the hook. Agent—That won't do either. Deputy—Kiss the book—the book itself. • The Voter catches the end of the book in his mouth, as if to bite it. Agent—That won't do again—kiss the flat of the book. The Voter at last kisses the book. Deputy—There are three candidates, honest man, Lord G. Beresford, Mr. Power, and Mr. Stewart—you can vote for any two of them, or for any one of them, just as you please. Agent—Stop a bit—ask him the seventh question, Mr. Deputy. Deputy—Do you swear the freehold is now of the yearly value of 40s. above all charges payable out of the same ? Voter—l do, Sir. Agent—Bravo, a fine half acre it is. Deputy—Well, now, for whom do you vote ? If he answer for Lord G. Beresford, he is allowed to pass away quietly—if for Mr. Stewart, there is some applause_clappinge on the back of the voter, and cries of—That's a boulelhaeen boy (a good fellow); manomastig (you're my darling, you are). The old lad goes away chuckling, and to be sure be never calls at the whisky shop on his way at home. - - 306 GROSS TOLL ON SATURDAY AT THR CLOSS.

FIRST DAY, SATURDAY, JUNE 24. ATTACK UPON COLONEL LISLIK ♦ND ILIA FILUNDA--CONFLICT BETWEEN THE MOB AND THE POLICE-411E14 Or THE FOR, MEE. SHOT, Sec. The town of Monaghan in the early part of the forenoon scarcely presented the slightest appearance of an election—there were but few persons in the streets, and those few were peaceable and orderly. , • • At twelve o'clock a loud *hoisting from the direction of Rost , more Perk announced the approach of Mr. Wentenra., and iu a few minutes after, between five and six hundred men, each armed with a newly-cut bludgeon, and decorated with a sprig of laurel in their hats, entered the Diamond flourishing their sticks. The Diamond was at this time completely crowded with men, all armed, without a single exception, with large ;dicks. The infu riated appearance of the mob, their hideous yellingii, added to the flourishing of the bludgeons, presented an appearance truly appall ing. At half-past twelve a simultaneous attack was made upon the police, which they contented themselves with merely resist ing ; nothing like offensive operations having been resorted to by them. The foot police were stationed in front of the Court-house, and for a time kept a portion of the mob, who attempted to force the position, in check. The horse police were scattered through the mob, in vain striving with the flats of their 'swords to disperse them. Several of the mounted police were knocked from their horses, and beaten with savage fury when down. The foot po lice were obliged to give way, and took up a position in the church-yard. The mob, however, did not think it wise to follow . them into this strong-hold, and they contented themselves with shouting and flourishing their sticks. In the centre of the Dia mond at this moment the battle raged with the greatest fury, and thither the mob who had routed the foot police repaired. The police being thus relieved from their presence, again entered the Diamond ; and the horse police being again obliged to give way, 'owing to the great accession of strength which their adversaries had received, it was deemed necessary, in order to rescue them 'from the imminent danger which threatened them, to give or ders to the foot police to fire. The orders were promptly, obey ed, when the mob fled with the greatest precipitation, leaving three of their comrades stretched upon the ground. A message had been despatched on Colonel Leslie's arrival, to the barrack, where a party of the 'l sth regiment were stationed, ordering .them forthwith to repair to the scene of action, and immediately after the police had fired the military arrived, and formed in front of the Court-House, where they continued during the remaining part of the day. I could not help remarking that in a moment after the discharge of musketry had taken place, not a single stick was to be seen ; the crowd, however, continued daring the day to remain in the Diamond, but not a word escaped from them, nor did they even attempt to raise a single cheer. The•three officers commanding the police are all wounded, and I believe every pri vate on duty is similarly circumstanced. About two o'clock order being in some degree restored, the Court-house doors were thrown open, and in a few minutes every place was occupied. After the preliminary proceedings had been gone through--; Coronet Mannim rose and addressed the Meeting. Mr. Lucas next rose, and in a speech of considerable length, which our limits preclude us from giving, proposed Mr. Westenra. Colonel CAER seconded the nomination of Mr. Westenra. Mr. Trioasox next rose for the purpose of putting Mr. Shirley in nomination, and commented with great ability and force upon the objections urged by Mr. Lucas against Mr. Shirley. Mr. Foxe's seconded the proposition of Mr. Tonniason, and considered the extent of Mr. Shirley's property was the best security which the County could have for his discharging the duties of a Representative with fairness and honour. .A.• a land lord, Mr. Shirley was unequalled. Mr. Shirley had been repre sented as a stranger, but he (Mr. Forbes) was confident that those who now thought him a stranger will, before seven years revolve, unanimously agree to place him in that chair which he, for the first time that day, aspired to fill.—(Cheers.) Colonel Lentz then addressed the electors, and said that he had for twenty-six years pursued the same line of conduct, an d that be was now too old to change it.—(Cheers.) On the question being put, upon Colonel Leslie ' s nomination, Counsellor CORLEY addressed the meeting in favour of Mr. Westenra and the independence tithe county, and contend e d e b d Mr. Westenra was as much at liber t y now to o ppose the Roman Catholic claims as he had ever b e e n. Mr. Tirmxteou—l ask you, Colonel Leslie, do y ou go f ree fr an o i m l unshackledpledge unne cessary. _._(Cheers. ) Neither Mr. Westenra nor Mr. Shirley attempted to address the electors. The High Sheriff was then sworn to'snake a fair return, and and the Court was adjourned to 17.44 m r„4 -Y) when the polling is to commence. Another correspondent calls upon us to recommend those who keep dogs► to give them plenty of water this hot weather. He also recommends those who keep birds, to put a large sized tea-cup full of water into their cages, that the poo r bi r d s ma y wash themselves free from the vermin that pester them at this tune of the year.

The affairs of Portugal, and the iritended c hange °I its Government, appear to occupy public attention to, a considerable extent in Paris.
